Realization I’m 18 and just got a job where communication is the number one factor. And I realized how bad my stutter effects me. Whenever I’m talking with customers, I just pause for no reason to stop the stutter before it happens which leads to weird stares. I sometimes have to cut down sentences and use different grammar to avoid stuttering which just makes me sound stupid. I stuttered my whole life and just hoped it’d stop one day but never has. Now that I’m going into adulthood, and how can I advance when my stutter is holding me back? Such as getting a full time job and socializing. I hate that I stutter
